Eurofighter Typhoon 1:71 Scale 03900 ![]() Background A model replica of the Eurofighter Typhoon. In 2015 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and in honour of Flt. Lt. James Nicholson the multi-purpose fighter aircraft was adorned with the Royal Air Force camouflage colours carried during WWII. Affectionately known as GINA many onlookers have been dazzled by her displays including me ![]() The Kit ![]() This is a re-pop of Revell's 2016 release and is basically a scaled down version of there 1/48 and 1/32 kits (both of which are a joy to build). Its nice to see Revell have listened to modelers and changed that style of their boxes! The Plastic there are 2 clear sprues comprising of the canopy and IP, the rest is of a light grey colour and is crisp, with very little flash for a re-pop ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Decals ![]() The decals are printed in Italy and are in perfect register and sharp color definition. However in comparing there to the real GINA, i dont think some of the stencils and walkway lines are appropriate, so id advise the modeler to check references for themselves, there are millions of photos out there Instructions ![]() ![]() The instructions are in full colour and detail the construction of the kit through 37 stages 1 scheme included - GINA!! - Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4, No 29(R) Squadron, Royal Air Force, Conongsby, England, April 2016 Colour callouts are in Revell colours only of which two will require mixing. Conclusions This is a re-pop of a very nice looking kit and a very appropriate scheme for the 100th Anniversary of the RAF. There are plenty of spare weapons in the kit if you choose AM decals to build a war bird. I have never built the typhoon in this scale, however have built 5 in 1/48 and 3 in 1/32 so know a little about them, from what i see this is very similar to the 1/48 in part make up and i dont envisage any problems, to that extent its on the bench next!!! Id recomend this kit to anyone with a steady hand and patience Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers. |
